Official USMB Shutdown Showdown Thread --- Week of Jan 14th, 2019

[Leo123]

Yes cuts will be made so the rich can have it all. Some can't figure it out.

First off, you need to define 'rich.'

 

[Weatherman2020]

Get rid of corporate loopholes.

Loopholes?

They like parroting buzzwords they’ve been fed.

 

[Leo123]

Do you really believe that the federal workforce cuts are going to happen? In numbers or in pay/benefits/pensions?

The only way to do that is to drastically cut taxes to stem the flow of $$$$ to useless government programs/employees.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Their salaries and benefits an envy of most Americans working in the private sector.

Can’t get fired for poor performance.

Retirement packages that are extinct in the private sector. Most Americans have to save to be able to retire, government workers do not.



Let the shutdown continue. They don’t like it, get a job in the private sector.

Spoken like a true Christian..

Yes, looking out for the little guy while you Gestapo wannabes defend big government leaches.

Nice catch! "corporate loopholes' must surely a Democrat talking point.

Most of the wealth is concentrated to a small percent. It's part of the system. It's neither good nor bad just a fact.

Good honest work is now the whipping boy of the ignorant, the bitter, the fearful Trumpian.

How did virtues turn to vices and vices to virtues? What a twisted specious brand of logic it takes to believe in a reprobate like The Donald.

 

[Weatherman2020]

As professional as we can expect from one of the most hated agencies.

This will get Trump a lot of votes too

TSA Agents Are Blasting Explicit Rap at JFK Because of the Government Shutdown

Point taken....Which is why the government should not receive much funding and government workers (like those in D.C.) should be paid minimum wage. People like Schumer and Pelosi should not be paid a cent. Just like Trump is not taking a salary.

Cry me a river. Let them get a real job.

They have real jobs. Serving the American people.

That's a bunch of TDS nonsense. How did vices turn to virtues? Ask Hillary, Comey, et al.

 

[Leo123]

No, a real job produces revenue. Government workers make no profit and exist on tax revenue.

 

[initforme]

Yes pay border patrol agents minimum wage....great idea.

Grabby women by the genitals ( a vice that is now a virtue). Profiting from the Presidency (a crime that is now excused). Working as an agent for a foreign adversary (an act of treason now seen as patriotism).

 

[initforme]

Once the wall is built I would support the hiring of an additional large number of border patrol agents to patrol it....federally funded by taxpayers. Full pensions too.

Like firemen, policemen and prosecuting attorneys. Like ambulance drivers and teachers. Like the men and women in the armed forces.

 

[Mac1958]

No big deal if someone you hate has their paychecks delayed.

You don't even have to know them to hate them, just think what you're programmed to think, makes the whole thing a lot easier, you betcha.

 

[william the wie]

The stuff that is floating around includes :

No food stamps as in "burn baby burn"

RIFs after 30 days furloughs

and no doubt other things such as Trump will declare a sanctuary jurisdiction state of emergency.

Some are real possibilities others aren't but others include stuff like credit rating downgrades. So, what else do you see happening?

 

[Mac1958]

Nothing.
